Household Goods Delivery and Temporary Storage
    1. Commercial moving and storage companies often use 53-foot tractor-trailer combinations. While most roads within the Community can accommodate this size, it's advisable to contact the provider and, if needed, conduct a site survey to ensure compatibility.  All large commercial deliveries must use the “resident” side to access the community to avoid damage to the gate house structures.  Please meet your vendor at the gate to ensure they are able to access the community and contact the Amenities Center if needed for any specialize arrangements.
    2. Temporary storage containers, like "PODS," are available in various sizes, with the most common being 8 feet wide by 16 feet long. For planning purposes, this size is generally comparable to the footprint of a mid-sized car.
    3. Regardless of how household goods are delivered, certain restrictions apply. Please refer to your Association’s Community Association Manager for Temporary Parking, Moving Services, and Temporary Storage requirements.

  • St. Augustine Amphitheatre
    • Located at 1340C A1A South, St. Augustine, FL 32080
    • In 1965, St. Augustine celebrated the 400th Anniversary of Menendez’s founding of St. Augustine and the community pulled out all the stops to prepare, including revamping the historic core of the city, renovating the Cathedral Basilica and restoring the City Gate.  The plans also included constructing two key monuments that would live well beyond the city’s birthday party. One was the Great Cross at the Mission Nombre de Dios, and the other was the St. Augustine Amphitheatre.  Although, The Amp is now best known as a world-class music venue, it was constructed for a singular purpose — as the stage and setting for a symphonic outdoor drama by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright, Paul Green. The play, titled “Cross and Sword,” was a retelling of the arrival of Menendez and the founding of St. Augustine.  Today The Amp is a state of the art, internationally known performing arts venue consistently ranked among Pollstar Magazine’s Top 50 Amphitheatre Venues Worldwide. Musical icons including Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, John Legend, Robert Plant, Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and hundreds more have taken the stage.
